I think there are a few reasons for that, including the market being depressed in general, the number of Ollie's built and available for sale continues to increase, and you can now purchase from dealers without any wait time and also finance at the same time. I'm sure in the past many paid a premium for used instead of waiting for a custom build.

Back in June Musk said “We are not going to do a Tesla phone”. Pretty sure this is one of those fake news videos put up just to get views. 'We Are Not Going To Do A Tesla Phone'

Wow, thanks for the pics.. I can see where it got the name "Beast" now.. Lots of similarities with our Hull 45, which was built right after, such as the 3 running lights at the top front, round reverse lights, coat hooks, reading lights, switch panel, retractable power cord, galley drawer configuration, and single step, but those mods are something I've never seen anywhere else before! And the heater located in the rear street side is very interesting. I wonder why he decided to put it there and lose the rear pass through functionality? Also, looks like it *was* upgraded to 5 leaf springs after the original build as shown in the pics I posted a few days ago. Probably at the same time all those mods that surely added a lot of additional weight were done.

All they'd have to do is produce an optional control board- one that has DIP switches where you could select between utilizing the built in thermistor and an external thermostat and one to select between an always on fan or only on when compressor running. I'd buy one of their units tomorrow, and I bet they'd get a lot of sales of those upgraded control boards, too...

Do yourself a favor and pick up some E6000 adhesive too. I haven't found a brand of wool pad yet where the "loop" section of the pad doesn't pull away from the pad well before the wool section is worn out. The second the edges start to pull away on them I remove them completely and re-glue with the E6000 leaving a 10lb weight on it overnight. Haven't had one that I've re-glued this way come apart yet.

Hate to veer more off topic, but here's another cool pic of a black LE on that page. http://oliver.hewus.com/Trailer/Other_Trailers/Misc_Olivers/P1040468.JPG.html

The axles tubes look to be a smaller diameter than mine, so maybe?

Yes, it has a pass-through basement.

Yes, mine is titled as a 2010 with a production date of August 2009.

I figured that you would know the story behind it! Another cool find on that same page are pics of Jim Oliver's first LE2. Was surprised to see that it had 4 leaf springs, at least at that point... http://oliver.hewus.com/Trailer/Other_Trailers/The_first_22_foot_Oliver

Yeah, definitely not considering one behind the rear axle, though I think I could get away with one in front of the front axle where it would be close to the same level as the bottom of the axle itself. It's pretty obvious this LE was raised a little higher than factory and probably doesn't have the same clearance issues a rear mounted box could have on ours. .

I've been searching for an under chassis storage solution in Google image search and came up on this webpage. Does anyone know the source for these boxes? Probably custom made, but I would love to know by who... I think one mounted in front of the front axle on each side would be perfect. I'm guessing @ScubaRx knows the story behind these... Under Trailer Storage

That's why (IMHO) it's best to install the EPO/EMS right before your breaker box. If not, you can have a wiring issue between the pedestal and the breakers causing a voltage drop that won't be seen by the EPO if installed at the pedestal.

Nope, though I do think they might be the heavier duty 4 leaf Dexter's, so maybe they've been changed before?

One issue with installing an EMS/EPO at the pedestal is that you're not picking up the voltage drop between the pedestal and the equipment/appliances in your TT. Might not be an issue, but also might be... I like a sacrificial surge protector at the pedestal and then an autoformer, and then an EMS/EPO unit before the breaker box. Maybe overkill, but I like overkill when it comes to electricity.

Mike has lots of great info and advice on RV electric, but he's WAY off when it comes to the Hughes Autoformer. Been waiting for his "Part 4" testing results for a while but now he says he bound by an NDA by the NEC and can't reveal them. I'm glad I took the advice of Hughes electrical engineers (which Mike is not. BTW), as well as from a friend of mine who is also an electrical engineer before waiting for his final results.

Except in his trailer it will have an effect since he's running a Hughes Autoformer inside.

Personally, I would definitely put a high quality surge protector at the power pole to check for power, correct wiring, and to take any surge hits first instead of the Autoformer's surge module taking them. You could then put the Hughes Watchdog EPO that @John Dorrer recommends after the Autoformer for another layer of protection if desired. I don't think I would bother with that though if you already have the factory Progressive EMS installed, which is something mine did not come with.

If the problem goes away during the day you could be seeing the rise in humidity at night due to shorter compressor run times when it's cooler out, especially if the fan is always running. That would make some sense of your readings since the cabin humidity might go up faster than the underneath where your bay sensor is. And if the cabin sensor is directly catching the air from the AC when the fan is on but the compressor is off you can read even higher.

But was the outside humidity lower before the install? Maybe not apples to apples?

Unless the Nova Kool was draining into the cabin I don't see how it could be adding humidity into the cabin. I also don't see how opening the vents would help when it's humid outside since it would just give the outside humidity an easier path into the cabin. I think what I would try is swapping that cabin sensor with the bay sensor to confirm that it's reading correctly. I would also make sure that there aren't any water leaks nearby that could be making that cabin sensor read higher than the surrounding area actually is..

Something that doesn't make sense to me is that your Bay and WH sensors are reading lower humidity than your cabin sensor is. You would think they would be reading higher than cabin since they are in a less conditioned space than the cabin is- especially when you say that it's high humidity outside. Maybe I'm missing something?

The Hughes Watchdog EPO is a great unit. One thing to consider if you're also using a Hughes Autoformer is that the EPO unit should be installed downstream of the Autoformer. If not, when voltage drops to 104 volts the EPO will cut off power completely and and the Autoformer won't be able to do it's job of boosting voltage 10% and keeping it at a safe level. Ask me how I know!😄

That's the way to do it. And when you're looking to purchase a surge protector there are two things you should be must concerned with- the "joules" rating which is how much energy it can absorb before failure (the higher the number the better) and how easy it is to replace the surge unit when it is all used up and fails. Some are user replaceable, some need to be sent back to the manufacturer, and some are throw away.

Early Gen2 body style.. even better!
